| 6:50pm | Spring '09 Previews | | | | There are several interesting facts about this spring season. First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ... | | |

Please enjoy this rather meta-level discussion about whether anime can be treated like art or not. Mike: today’s topic: “is anime art?” For myself, I actually addressed this issue at length in... | | |
| 7:06pm | CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~ Extra |  | | | [ Extra: What Happened a Year Before ] There are still some good people out there. gawd I forgot how epic everybody was during their school days.

| 11:28pm | Kurokami: The Animation - Episode 11 | | | | Just before his Terra-deficient collapse last episode, Keita saw a face that he recognised, and so episode eleven of Kurokami focuses very much on this particular reunion.The person in question is Sawamura, a person from Keita's school days who he believed to be dead, but who had in fact assumed a new... | | |
| 7:30pm | 2009 Spring Season Oktoberfest-in-March Preview Spectacular | | | | Nine short days left. I always feel the need to remind people that none of us doing these things really has anything but at best a random guess at how shows are going to turn out, and at worst are using woefully inadequate information copied off of someone’s poorly translated website blurb. If... | | |

| 9:31am | Lightning Chess: reports back from a Code Geass (S1) marathon | | | | Wait, we’re not in sad girl in snow land anymore, Totoro. Er, Toto. Ah, where to begin? Such a scope really begins to overwhelm me, sort of like how power (and revenge, and table-humping yuri urges) did to many of the characters in Code Geass. And I’m only halfway home so far – somehow... | | |
| 6:38am | Minami-ke Okaeri - 08: The Art of Seduction |  | | | Why yes I would gladly open that up Well it will be the final stretch in the coming weeks for schooling and sadly the lab report on Azotobacter and the English Paper took precedence over Minami-ke.
